Sure people who watched the fight half drunk in a bar/arm chair fight fans who heard that Barrera beat 'the legendary' nas (but don't seem to realise how long EIGHT YEARS is) will... but they would if they were from the UK/America/Germany... where ever... assuming that the winner is from their country and they're ignorant enough there's always going to be sheep.
Did you watch the fight? Better yet did you hear the fight? These UK announcers were going overboard.

"A Mere Con is back" Really? Back to what?

"He's erased the Prescott nightmare" When did he do that?

"He dominated the great Barrera" Means as much as Trevor Berbick dominating Ali

"Con is ready for a title shot" WBU title shot maybe
Well Barrera floored and fought toe to toe with the greatest fighter (JM Marquez in your own words) in the world only two years ago virtually to the day and then went 12 rounds with the Ring's p4p number 1. He's hadn't lost since so it must have been one hell of a rapid slide into a post Parkinson's level Ali
